Yeah, nothing like starting off the video with falsehoods. You can pray in school. You can write about God in school papers. You can talk about your own faith in school, during a lesson would probably not be appropriate, but neither is anything else than the lesson. God in history books? What are you talking about? Creationism is NOT a scientific theory, its only a hypothesis, and is not backed up by ANY evidence, thats why it isn't taught in your science class. You are called names because they are accurate.

Oh, shocking. Ratings and comments disables on youtube.

"If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution."

Also, that girl complaining about being called a lesbian because she thinks "saving herself for marriage" means never kissing anybody? When I was her age, that meant not having sex until marriage. So her very first kiss is supposed to happen after the preacher says "You may kiss the bride?" Really? What's next, Christian burkas?

"The question of whether atheists are, you know, right, typically gets sidestepped in favor of what is apparently the much more compelling question of whether atheists are jerks."

Very sad and profoundly disturbing. These poor kids are advocating for systems to promote their own ignorance.

In other news, one mom from Michigan is concerned about the pornographic material her 7th grader is being asked to read in public school. What is this porn, you ask?

The Diary of Anne Frank.

Are you waiting to hear the content that upsets the mom? I know you are. Is it about sexual fantasies? Is it about sexual activities? No. It is the ponderings of a teenage girl about her own anatomy, and reflections on previous misunderstandings.

This is the passage in question:

Until I was eleven or twelve, I didn't realize there was a second set of labia on the inside, since you couldn't see them. What's even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris…When you're standing up, all you see from the front is hair. Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you're standing, so you can't see what's inside. They separate when you sit down and they're very red and quite fleshy on the inside. In the upper part, between the outer labia, there's a fold of skin that, on second thought, looks like a kind of blister. That's the clitoris."Read more: http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/22056965/northvillle-mother-files-complaint-about-passages-in-the-diary-of-ann-frank#ixzz2T03SvMkK

The mother thinks that parents, not the school, (and certainly not books read in school) should be introducing such sensitive topics to our kids. I mean, there might be teenaged girls out there who had not previously thought about their anatomy and the parts of their body that they can't view without a hand mirror. And after reading this, they might even grab a mirror and take a look!

Or someone should just slap her in the face and say "Sweetcheeks, you are doing something different than the norm. Kids make fun of what's different from them. This isn't organized oppression, this is tribe psychology by people young enough to have their psyches dominated by it. If you were really tall, fat, or actually a lesbian it would probably be worse."

An Omnipowerful God needed to sacrifice himself to himself (but only for a long weekend) in order to avert his own wrath against his own creations who he made in a manner knowing that they weren't going to live up to his standards.

Hrrrm there are documented cases of people actually being killed for being gay in high school. Definitely several cases of beatings. We have the one open atheist girl who had to go to the court to end the institution discrimintation she faced.

Can any of you kids come up with ONE case of anti-christian activities at this level?

He never pays attention, he always knows the answer, and he can never tell you how he knows. We can't keep thrashing him. He is a bad example to the other pupils. There's no educating a smart boy.-– Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

My favorite "Its our country, how dare these uppity infidels act if they are our equals. Don't they know their rightful place is under our boot heel?"

Really an excellent summation of the attitudes evidenced in The Thaw
